    Abstract Drug-induced liver injury (DILI), a relatively rare condition, is nevertheless a major reason for not approving a drug in development or for removing one already marketed. With a specific diagnostic biomarker lacking, finding elevated serum enzyme [alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase] activities remains an initial signal for incipient liver injury. Enzyme elevations alone may not be harmful, but if caused by a drug and followed by jaundice (called 'Hy's law') there is a high possibility of serious DILI. In 1997 several drugs were approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the USA that were later withdrawn from the market for serious liver toxicity. New drugs in development are now required to be monitored for liver injury, and the data is to be considered in the approval decision. A program called e-DISH (evaluation of drug-induced serious hepatotoxicity) was introduced in 2004 to aid medical reviewers to select from all subjects studied those few who show nontrivial liver injury and estimate the most likely cause. The threshold of enzyme elevation comprising a warning for possibly serious DILI is uncertain, although generally accepted as 3-5 times the 'upper limit of normal'. The new direct-acting antiviral agents for treating chronic hepatitis C virus, which often lead to a reduction of elevated ALTs, mandate that a later increase without viral breakthrough be compared to the new on-treatment level of values. The drug may be discontinued or interrupted for evaluation to exclude other possible causes of liver injury. The FDA has approved no drug since 1997 that has been withdrawn later because of serious hepatotoxicity.

    Abstract In the late 1960's, only types A and B hepatitis were believed to exist, distinguished by circumstances of exposure and incubation periods. In the early 1970's, studies of transfusion recipients were begun with the belief that hepatitis B would be responsible should transfusion-associated hepatitis develop. After discovery of the viruses of hepatitis A and B, neither agent was found responsible, hence non-A, non-B (NANB) hepatitis. Initial follow-up of these cases showed that approximately 50% developed chronic hepatitis based on persistence of serum enzymes for at least 6 months. Approximately 15 years later, after the hepatitis C virus had been identified as the cause for NANB hepatitis, chronic hepatitis was found to develop more frequently as indicated by persistent viral infection in over 80% of infected adults but in only about 50% of infected children or young women. Follow-up over 2 to 4 decades indicated that many infected persons developed progressive hepatic fibrosis, sometimes culminating in cirrhosis and/or liver cancer. Long-term natural history studies have proved to be challenging because disease onset is often silent and progression extremely slow. Differing strategies have been used to determine the natural history, the descriptions and results of which are presented in this review.

    Abstract Herbal and dietary supplement use is common. Most marketed products consist of complex mixtures. Although they are perceived as safe, instances of hepatotoxicity attributable to these products underscore their potential for injury, but the exact component that is responsible for injury is difficult to discern. The lenient regulatory environment in the United States, which opens the possibility of adulteration and contamination, adds to the challenge of disease attribution. Although many different herbal and dietary supplements have been reported to cause liver injury, in the United States, products used for bodybuilding and weight loss are the most commonly implicated.
